Sharing my Story

I grew up in the tiny town of Marquette, Michigan. I was an overweight kid in an overweight family. “Bad genetics,” I was told, which is easy to believe when it’s all you ever hear. The kids in elementary teased me about my weight and my religion, which turned me into a little girl with anxiety and full-on panic attacks. I was homeschooled in high school, and my family’s religion did not allow for sports or extra curricular. My teen years focused on dieting, exercising, binge eating, and becoming totally obsessed with body image. I sure learned how to self-sabotage, but I knew if I didn’t do something big, then I would end up locked in a padded room.

One day I was watching a fitness competition on TV where strong, beautiful women displayed superhero-like acts on stage. Whoa. My world screeched to a halt. I wanted to be just like these women, and I wanted to provoke powerful, positive feelings for others just like these women were doing for me. From that day on, I had a magnetic pull to the fitness industry. I begged my mom to buy me every fitness magazine I could I find and all kinds of workouts on VHS (remember those?). The second I could drive, I wanted a gym membership. As I shifted my focus to fitness, not only did I improve my body, but I started to feel amazing. Feeling strong in my body put me in control and lit a fire inside of my soul that got me thinking about new possibilities for my life. I wanted to show others that, they too, had the power to change, so I dedicated the next two decades of my life to educating myself on food and fitness.

In the last 10 years I’ve awakened new curiosities. I’ve learned a heck of a lot about self-love, business, finding your tribe, empowerment, cleansing your environment, relationships, protecting your energy, becoming resourceful despite your lack of resources, and doing what it takes to just freakin’ go for it. In the last eight years, I’ve had epic failures, disastrous relationships, business ideas that have gone up in flames, heart-wrenching experiences, and soul-crushing criticisms, all of which have caused me to second guess myself and my beliefs. I’ve almost thrown in the towel.

But real change can only happen if you never give up. So I never did. I chose to keep getting up after life’s beat downs. I’ve trumped talent, had some powerful wins, and some knee-hitting moments of gratitude. I’ve found my truest of relationships and my husband and I are proudly rocking multiple 7-figure businesses.

“It’s time for you to create a life you’re obsessed with.”
